From Troy Fire Protection District on Facebook:

This afternoon Troy companies responded to a structure fire in the 1100 block of Harvest Dr.

First arriving crews found a small fire contained to the kitchen, which was extinguished within minutes. Auto-aid companies from Minooka, Plainfield, Channahon, and Lockport assisted with overhaul and ventilation of the house, and no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation by Troy fire investigators.

This from Jim Skrabel:

Troy made quick work of a kitchen fire in the 1100 block of harvest drive.

2-Alarm church fire in Downers Grove, 7-29-24

Jul 29

Posted by Admin in Apparatus on-scene, Fire Scene photos | 5 Comments

This from Daniel Hynd:

The Downers Grove FD and auto/mutual aid companies worked a 2-alarm church fire at 525 63rd St early this morning, 7-29-24. This originally came in as an AFA, and police officers advised heavy smoke was coming from the building. The alarm was upgraded to a structure fire, then to a box, and then again to a 2nd alarm. Westmont and Lisle-Woodridge towers were set up and numerous hand lines used to contain the fire, which was believed to be gas fed.
